"So pardon if I'm coming off stealth

It's probably really hard for you to see me

Sea-weeds and we out floatin through the ocean no help

Puttin a genius in a bottle for a genie to read me

The President opened the message

It said don't push us, we close to the edges

...In red ink script to the edges

Thick from the blood that everyone of us shedded

And still aint none of us collected

Cuz niggas got their hands held to tight too accept it"

Blu on how dope he is, resilience of the people, and clinging on to prayer.

Repeating the "Seed killer" lines at 2 different points in the song to illustrate different forms of death. Abortion and murder.

Got a Story to Tell

This is a deep, insightful narrative about his formative years. It does not flow in the way other story raps do, missing transitions and context. but his herky-jerky flow makes that lack of cohesion seem intentional.

Speaking of flow, that is precisely what drew me to this song. Blu has a myriad of flows which he employs liberally depending on the track. Here he decides to go with a hesitation, stutter step style which perfectly compliments the track as well as the aforementioned story structure.

Mane tamed, maintained bare frame..

Seduction and Hip-Hop..great combo. I'm talking real seduction, not "after the party is the hotel lobby" and or "road head in the Honda with Lambo doors" But I am biased though. I grew up on shit like this, this, and this , long before I fell in love with hip-hop music.
